Biologically Inspired Algorithms (BIAs), processes that mimic how organisms solve
problems, offer a number of attributes well suited to addressing challenges presented by …

In this paper, we propose to the concept of software-defined networking (SDN) in wireless
sensor networks (WSNs) with a structured and hierarchical management. We argue that …

Software-defined networking (SDN), is evolving as a new paradigm for the next generation
of network architecture. The separation of control plane and data plane within SDN, brings …

In large scale multihop wireless networks, flat architectures are not scalable. In order to
overcome this major drawback, clusterization is introduced to support self-organization and …

Self-organization is critical for a distributed wireless sensor network due to the spontaneous
and random deployment of a large number of sensor nodes over a remote area. Such a …

Ad hoc networks consist of wireless hosts that communicate with each other in the absence
of a fixed infrastructure. Such networks cannot rely on centralized and organized network …

Ad-hoc social networks (ASNETs) represent a special type of traditional ad-hoc network in
which a user's social properties (such as the social connections and communications …

Due to their rapid evolution, mobile devices demand for more dynamic and flexible
networking services. A major challenges of future mobile networks is the increased mobile …

The rapid proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to growth in the ad-hoc
networking scenario. With the recent upcoming technologies of network programmability like …

Mobile ad hoc networks as well as grid platforms are distributed, changing, and error prone
environments. Communication costs within such infrastructure can be improved, or at least …
